      ab: A significant challenge in machine learning-based medical image analysis is the scarcity of medical images. Obtaining a large number of labeled medical images is difficult because annotating medical images is a time-consuming process that requires specialized knowledge. In addition, inappropriate annotation processes can increase model bias. Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a type of unsupervised learning method that extracts image representations. Thus, SSL can be an effective method to reduce the number of labeled images. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of reducing the number of labeled images in a limited set of unlabeled medical images. The unlabeled chest X-ray (CXR) images were pretrained using the SimCLR framework, and then the representations were fine-tuned as supervised learning for the target task. A total of 2000 task-specific CXR images were used to perform binary classification of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and normal cases. The results demonstrate that the performance of pretraining on task-specific unlabeled CXR images can be maintained when the number of labeled CXR images is reduced by approximately 40%. In addition, the performance was significantly better than that obtained without pretraining. In contrast, a large number of pretrained unlabeled images are required to maintain performance regardless of task specificity among a small number of labeled CXR images. In summary, to reduce the number of labeled images using SimCLR, we must consider both the number of images and the task-specific characteristics of the target images.
